Unforgettable Ryokan Culinary Experience

Staying at Wakakusa no Yado Maruei was a memorable way to experience a traditional ryokan. The absolute highlight was the food—both dinners and breakfasts were outstanding, with each meal beautifully presented, creative, and completely different across our three days. Every bite felt like a special occasion, and the attentive, gracious service made the dining experience truly exceptional. The overall service throughout our stay was excellent as well—warm, thoughtful, and seamless in a way that made us feel truly cared for. The room itself was interesting and authentic, but less about comfort and more about tradition. As a side sleeper, I found the futons a bit too firm, and during the day, with the beds put away, there wasn’t really a cozy spot to relax. That said, the setting and atmosphere make up for it if you’re looking for a cultural experience rather than a plush stay. The complimentary shuttle to and from the train station was also a helpful touch. Overall, this ryokan is perfect for those wanting to immerse themselves in Japanese tradition and enjoy some of the best meals you’ll ever have.

The hotel is situated in the shadow of Mt. Fuji and on the shores of a lake on the other side.The baths were amazing with views of both. The traditional royokan rooms were an immersion in the traditional Japanese experience. However the absolute highlights were the authentic Japanese meals served by the most friendly and helpful staff. This stay could be the highlight of your trip.

Loved having free shuttle from train station. Staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Traditional ryokan and kaiseki dinner in room was amazing! Breakfast was very good. Our room overlooked mt Fuji but lake view would be just as beautiful I am sure.

10/10 Ryokan!

First time visiting a Ryokan and I will definitely return! Everybody was friendly, the service from all the staff was above and beyond and the rooms were all super clean, even if it wasn't a modern hotel. All the onsens were well maintained and they switch up the male/ female onsens daily so everyone gets to try them. My favourite was the 5th floor outdoor onsen, while we also booked a room with a view of Mt Fuji and a personal onsen which was super handy as we only saw Mt Fuji at sunrise during our trip so we did not have to leave our rooms at dawn. Overall 10/10!

Kaiseki meals were great! It is a must try if you stay here. I would suggest to contact the property to request an upgrade (with not too expensive extra pay) before your stay. It is well worthy it. Hot spring experience is also good but for outsider with bigger body build, the XL size yukata is kind of small. They should prepare a few 2XL or 3XL for foreign visitors
